Book Review for Keep Me Close by Jennifer Sucevic

 

Keep Me Close by Jennifer Sucevic is now live! Knox McNichols and I have one thing in common—we can't stand each other. He's the NHL playboy who enjoys getting under my skin, and thanks to the marriage between our siblings, avoiding him isn't an option. When my ex refuses to take no for an answer, I show up at Knox's penthouse with a desperate proposal—pretend to be my boyfriend. The plan is simple: convince my ex I've moved on. Except Knox has a few rules... Rule #1: No flirting with anyone but him. Rule #2: If my ex contacts me, I tell him immediately. Rule #3: My location stays on at all times. His rules should send me running. Instead, they make me wonder if the man I've spent years fighting with is hiding something entirely different beneath his easy smiles and reputation as hockey's favorite playboy. The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks between us—or Knox’s determination to protect me at all costs. When pretending starts to feel a little too real, I realize there might be something far more dangerous than my ex refusing to let me go. It's discovering that the man I've spent years fighting with just might be the one I can't live without. Keep Me Close is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance featuring fake dating, off-limits tension, a hero who's been secretly pining from page one, and no third-act breakup. It's book five in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone. My Thoughts:   Hockey players are tough guys.  They play hard, love hard, and protect what is theirs hard.  Knox helps Cheyenne stay safe from her ex. With this protection comes rules.  The Chicago Railers are my favorite fictional hockey team.  I am a Chicago hockey fan (in real life) and this book is perfect for the off-season fix.   I devoured the story.  I love how protective Knox is, especially when he was just doing Cheyenne a favor.  Keep Me Close did not hold any big surprises, but the relationship was fun to see come to be.  Cheyenne kept him on his toes while calling him out when he was going too far.   No doubt they belong together.  I cannot wait for more of the Chicago Railers Hockey Series. Jennifer Sucevic knows how to write a steamy hockey romance. Thank you, Valentine PR, for a copy of the book via BookFunnel in exchange for my honest review.

Felicia Watson
(Fidelia Mysteries, #2)
Publication date: August 25th 2026
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Thriller

Everyone thinks their mother is murder but for mafia-family renegade Lucia Scafetti, that’s the literal truth.

When she laid her hitman father to rest, PI Lucia Scafetti thought she’d finally escaped her family’s criminal clutches. Ten years later, her estranged mom blows into Philly for a short visit and within days a friend’s dad is brutally murdered and Lucia is being menaced by her cousin and his fellow mafiosi. After her mother disappears, everyone: foes, friends, and free agents, descends upon Lucia in search of the thumb-drive her mom stole from a Caribbean drug lord. Lucia learns the hard way that the criminals besieging her will gladly kill to get their hands on that thumb-drive.
With the help of an intriguing ex-soldier, Lucia employs her skills, both detective and deadly, to solve the murder and unlock the secret of that enigmatic thumb-drive before it claims another life, be it her own – or that of her recently re-discovered son.

EXCERPT:

“Someone’s in there.”

Lucia snapped into action, ordering Robbie to stay in the car with the dogs and retrieving her Glock from the secret compartment in the back seat of the Chevelle SS 454. She shook her head, indicating to Robbie he wasn’t getting an immediate explanation about the compartment and then stealthily approached the house.

Lucia decided to go around back and enter from the kitchen. The deadbolt had been defeated and there was no sound from the alarm system. This was no ordinary burglar.

Weapon ready, she crept into the living room where she could discern the muffled footsteps of someone descending the stairs. Lucia pointed her gun at the source of the noise and at the opportune moment, flipped on the lights. A hefty, masked and armed man froze on the fourth step as he realized he was facing a cocked gun.

Lucia warned, “If you’re thinking of trying anything, you better be a better shot than I am. Which is…unlikely.”

The man held his right hand out to his side, his gun loose. In a weirdly thick voice, he rumbled, “Hey, I’m not looking for trouble.”

“Breaking into my house armed with a military-grade semi is a really strange way to prove that.”

He chuckled and moved the gun slightly in a non-threatening manner. “Military grade? Nah, this is just a—”

“A Beretta Cx4 Storm. Which means you are definitely prepared for trouble.”

Rather than refuting her point, he urged, “I just want the thumb-drive, the real one. The one your mother stole from me.”

Not recognizing the term ‘thumb-drive’, Lucia silently contemplated whether this guy could possibly be looking for a body-part from someone her mother had killed. “You worked with my mom? Who are you?”

“I’m not wearing this mask ’cause I’m ugly. Who I am is none of your business. Just hand over the drive and no one gets hurt.”

“Seeing as I have the drop on you, that’s a toothless threat,” Lucia declared. “And I don’t know what it is you’re looking for, but you’re not gonna find it here.”

“For your sake, lady, I hope you’re lying.”

“And why is that?”

“Because I’m not the last person who’s gonna come looking for that thumb-drive. And I’m sure as hell not the most dangerous.”

Nodding at his gun, she countered, “Hard to believe. And I don’t even know what a thumb-drive is let alone—”

“It’s a computer thing,” Robbie announced from somewhere behind her back, his presence until that moment completely undetected. “You use it to—”

“Robbie?!” Her eyes remained trained on the masked man as Lucia barked, “What the hell! What are you doing here?”

“I was worried about you so I came to check. Don’t worry, I left the dogs in the car. You know, so they won’t get hurt.”

“But it’s okay if you get hurt?!”

Taking advantage of the momentary distraction this argument provided, the man on the stairs suddenly leapt over the banister and dashed towards the kitchen.

Lucia followed but he was too quick for her. Standing on the back deck, listening to his footsteps retreating into the darkness, Lucia briefly considered giving chase. She quickly discarded the idea. Not only was there Robbie to think of, but Lucia was loathe to incite a gunfight that might frighten Mrs. Schwartz, the elderly widow who occupied the twin house attached to her own.

When she got back in the house Robbie held up his backpack. “I got it.” He took a deep breath and then said, “Wow, that was….”

“Terrifyingly dangerous?” she offered, while surveying the wreckage around her. The intruder had obviously conducted a very thorough search.

“Nah, exciting! I knew it was safe when I heard you handling that guy like a pro. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed in the kitchen. I swear.”

Lucia sighed heavily and impulsively put her free arm around his shoulder. “Rule number one, Rob? When guns are drawn? The situation is never, ever, safe.” She pulled him to face her and stared intently into his eyes. “Capish?”

Author Bio:

Felicia Watson started writing stories as soon as they handed her a pencil in first grade. She’s especially drawn to character driven tales, where we see people we recognize, people who struggle with their mistakes and shortcomings, acknowledge them, and use that knowledge to grow into wiser human beings.

When not writing, Felicia spends her time chasing after her not-so-brilliant, but darling and beloved dogs, is chased by her truly brilliant, darling and beloved husband, is known to friends and family as an amateur pastry chef, and still finds time for swimming and her day job as a scientist.

Book Review for The Trouble with Flings: Fitz Silver by Melissa Foster

 

The Silvers at Silver Island #2

The Trouble with Flings: Fitz Silver by Melissa Foster

Published:  August 26, 2026 by World Literary Press

Genre:  Contemporary Romance

Taken from Goodreads:  Sometimes you have to break all the rules to find everything you never knew you wanted. Come along for the fun, sexy ride as billionaire Fitz Silver pursues his biggest challenge yet—taming wild child Jennifer Stone. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you thinking about it long after you read the last page.

​Silver Island’s golden boy Fitz Silver keeps his business dealings clean, his affairs private, and fulfills every promise he makes. Infuriatingly so. He’s six-plus feet of gentleman in the streets and an unrelenting alpha in the sheets. I should know. I enjoyed a single scorching night in his bed over the summer. But contrary to Fitz being every woman’s fantasy, he's my worst nightmare.

I’m a risk taker, a rule breaker. I wasn’t looking for more than a little vacation fun, but that passionate night knocked me off my feet.

When a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the man who ruined me for all others, I know better than to land in his bed again. Unfortunately, outside my job as a high school principal, I’m not known for my good decisions. Once again I plan to leave Mr. Silver and our surprising connection behind, but he’s annoyingly unforgettable...and then two pink lines change everything.

My Thoughts:  A fling is just a fling until it turns into something more.  Fitz and Jennifer had a one night stand, then a chance meeting, and oops… a pregnancy.   Jennifer fights it all but Fitz is exactly what Jennifer needs to get over her past and see that she deserves a future.

I enjoyed that this book took it’s time.   The relationship between Fitz and Jennifer is hot and getting hotter.  At no point did their relationship feel rushed.  Fitz knew how to help Jennifer find her way to him but more importantly find out what is important to her.   He took her life and did not change it, he embraced it, he enhanced it, and he made himself fit into her world. 

Melissa Foster wrote the perfect story for Fitz and Jennifer.

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Release Blitz for The Lion in the Library by Amy Award

 

The Lion in the Library by Amy Award is now live! She’s spent her whole career being looked at. He’s spent his whole career being watched. Neither of them had ever truly been seen—until a lost stuffed lion brought them together in a Los Angeles library. I came to Los Angeles to finish my book and consider a career-changing offer to join their football, umm….I mean soccer team. I am not looking for a woman. Especially not one with two kids, two ex-husbands, and a dialect coach who keeps telling her to sound less like herself. Then she walks into the library like a golden age movie star, carrying two children and somehow still looking like she owns the place. She doesn’t recognize me. I don’t recognize her. For the first time in fifteen years, I’m just a man. Not The Lion. Not the famous footballer. Just Leo. Turns out she’s only the most famous telenovela star in all of Mexico. And I’m only the most famous soccer player in the world. And we’re both starting over in L.A. But when the paparazzi come knocking and jealous exes start making trouble, I realize that for the first time in my career, I’m genuinely terrified of losing. Not a match. Not a trophy. Just one woman who licks her ice cream cone like it’s the role of a lifetime and still doesn’t even know my jersey number. I’m completely done for. Before Tempest gets her story in The Jackass in Class, meet the grandparents who showed her that real love means being seen for exactly who you are—in this swoony, sexy prequel to the Cocky Kingmans series, featuring a confident plus-size heroine who knows her worth, a hero who can’t believe his luck, and a telenovela love story you’ll wish you could watch on the big screen.
